They look great, Myh! Anyway, Gourdo’s is near here. I’ll try to drop by and inquire about their workshop rates. I want to learn to do this so I can teach it to my kids.
I want the Pikachu rice!!! Hope they do these regularly.
I love workshops and it’s nice that you got to experience something like this. I’ve seen your bento creations and with this workshop, I’m excited to see more of your works.
So pretty! I love your sushi! I wish to join one of Gourdo’s workshop soon. 🙂
I’ve always wanted to learn how to make sushi art!!!!
Perfect for bento boxes. They’re all the rave now. 🙂 I love makis.
Those are so cute! I hope to attend something similar in the future. I love Gourdo’s!
Sushi is something I haven’t tried making, I probably should one of these days.
That was fun! I don’t know how to do maki but would really love to try this. We have those items available at our house to make sushi and maki because of mom but I never dared to try it.
Cute pokemon.. my son is so fan of pokemon an he wants to have a pokemon themed party on his birthday
Wow, Pokemon-inspired maki. Alas, I am the only Pokemon fan at home, hahaha. It looks like you all enjoyed making maki though 🙂
I always want to learn how to make sushi every time I see one. It looks fun and fulfilling after placing all those stuff inside and how its going to look like. Exciting.
Wow. this is so nice ha. Ang ang galing galing mo lang tlaaga. Pwera usog. I am a gourdo frequent shopper and i love the store. Good thing they have this kind of workshop.
Nice! I’ve always wanted to know how to make makis as the kids love California Maki. It seems a lot of work though. Haha!
Love that there are so many options for workshops and classes these days! so many avenues for us to pursue hobbies and hone our crafts!
Your masterpiece looks great too. I’m hoping to learn how to do that as well.
Wow, it’s my first time to hear about an art maki sushi class. Looks fun! The closest workshop to this that I’ve joined was a bento one. Would love to experience this too.
I have to admit that I am not a fan of maki and sushis talaga. But I find this workshop fun. Ang cute ng outcome. Siguro kids will enjoy this activity, too, kasi ang colorful ng mga nagawa nyo. 🙂
Looks like you all had loads of fun. My husband would love workshops like these.
Wow this workshop looks so fun! Who doesn’t love sushi? I hope I can attend a workshop like this too!
This looks like a fun thing to do. It’s great to learn new things at every opportunity we get.
How cute is your Pokemon creation! I love maki and sushi, now I’m craving for some. This looks like a fun workshop 🙂
Ang galing! I want to learn how to do it too.
Looked like everyone had a great time! I personally am not a big sushi fan, but it would be nice to learn how to make sushi for the family. 🙂
Looks fun! Was it all rice and nori? Were there other ingredients used? My son will enjoy eating that PokeBall hehe!
I love Japanese food except Maki. Not friendly to my taste buds. My ate loves it so much that she can go on a day with only having it lang.
That’s a really cute and awesome creation! I have a confession to make, no matter how much I want to “want” it, I really don’t like the taste of maki! 🙁
That looks fun! I love sushi and im always wondering how to make one! 🙂
Oh these are so cute, I dont think I can eat them this pretty. My 7 year old will definitely like one, though he doesn’t eat sushi ?
What a nice experience, my husband likes Japanese foods pero ako hindi ko type sushi. hehehe! I always visit Gourdo’s in ATC branch for my baking needs. 🙂
